I have been single 15 months, after a marriage breakdown! I have been quite happy and very busy with my 5 year old son!

Recently an ex from about 15 years ago has got in touch! We didn’t split on bad terms but were quite young! He got married last year. He told me he has always loved me, that I’m his ‘one’, that he’s never been happy with anyone else etc but I haven’t got a clue why he’s telling me that his now?! I’m confused!!

Even my 10 year old would do a mock gesture of sticking her fingers down her throat at a cheeseville line like that

I wouldn't be able to help myself in that I'd need to ask "how do you think it's terrible that my ex cheated on me but what you're doing to your wife is okay?"

He's never going to be a decent person you want on your life because he has shown that he too is a cheat and a liar.

It sounds like you're going to fall for his lies and meet him op. You're a fool if you do and no better than your ex who cheated on you. If that's how you want to be in life, go ahead.

Wow before some of you jump down my throat about morals...when I checked my phone on Christmas Day he had sent me loads of messages through messenger. I responded saying you are clearly with someone on your messenger picture and I don’t think it’s appropriate to be messaging me! I said I had split with my ex because he had cheated on me and I knew what it felt like for your husband to be messaging someone else and it was out of order! He replied saying that my ex was an absolute dickhead for cheating on me and I then blocked him and haven’t heard a thing since!

I was intrigued to know why people had thought he’d messaged me after this long and if it had happened to anyone else that is all!! I don’t intend to pursue any type of relationship with this guy as it was me that finished him 15 years ago!!

To be fair you could have said you’d blocked him in your opening post.

Good for you OP. You have validation that you are still desirable. So, if you fancy it, get out there and find someone who isnt a creep!
